Welcome to Town (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve had two grey days in LA, and I celebrated by ordering this paneled fleece jacket, epically failing my self-imposed no more buying black ban. Jury’s still out on whether I’m keeping it, mostly because I’m fearful we won’t ever experience even a taste of fall this year, even by LA terms.Speaking of LA things, there’s a new wave of stores coming to town. Still Here opened its doors (vintage room and all!) over the weekend. Leset is opening on Sunset, and has
